White Xbox One and budget Blu-ray-less variant coming later this year

Microsoft employees who worked at the Interactive Entertainment division got their hands on a special white Xbox One – but they're about to get a little less exclusive.

According to NeoGAF forum poster ntkrnl, Microsoft will launch a white variant of the Xbox One in October alongside Sunset Overdrive, with a limited edition 1TB version of the console coming in November.

The poster also claims that a US$400 version of the Xbox One, minus an optical drive, could drop this year – and has posted an alleged image of a limited edition Titanfall Xbox One console.
